Solution 1. Check network connection

As mentioned above, WeChat is an online app that requires your network connection. Poor network connection may lead to failure of sending messages.

For fixing it, you just need to check your network connection on your computer or mobile phone.

1. Use other online apps to see if your device has been connected with the network.

2. Close and restart the router or disconnect and re-connect the wire cable to check the network on your computer; reset network settings on iPhone or Android phone to see if the network is normal.

Then just try again to see if you can send the messages on WeChat again.

Solution 2. Add the receiver into your friend list

When you and the receiver are in the same WeChat group, but he/she is not in your contact/friend list, you cannot send him/her the message directly by the person. For solving it, you have 2 choices after signing into WeChat (WeChat account lost? Recover it now.) on your device:

1. Add the receiver into your contact/friend list by sending him/her the adding friend request.

2. Send the messages in the WeChat group, and @ him/her, then the receiver also get the notification to see your messages.

Solution 3. Ask the receiver to unblock you

If the receiver has blocked you on WeChat, then you can find his/her in the contact list, and send the messages, but the messages will be rejected automatically.

For removing this trouble, just ask the receiver to unblock you, if you did it unintentionally.

On his/her mobile phone, open the WeChat conversation with you > Hit the three-dot on the right corner > Tap your contact image > Hit the three-dot on the right corner > Toggle off "Block" to unblock you.

Then you can try to send the messages to him/her to see if the problem has been solved.

Embarrassedly, if the receiver purposely blocked you or deleted you from you're his/her contact list, then I think you should ask him/her by yourself.

How to check if the receiver blocked or deleted you on WeChat?

If you send the receiver the message, but Exclamation mark appears before the messages and pops up that, "The message is successfully sent but rejected by the receiver", then you are blocked by him/her.

If the message pops up that, "XX has enabled Friend Confirmation. [Send a friend request] to chat", then it shows the receiver has deleted you.

Solution 4. Access microphone permission to send voice messages

While you are using WeChat to enjoy all full functions, you need to grant permission for using.

While you send voice messages to the receiver on WeChat, you should enable microphone permission.

On iPhone, go to "Settings" > Scroll down to find WeChat and tap it > Toggle on "Microphone".

On Android, go to "Settings" > "Apps" > Select "WeChat" > "Permissions" > Turn on "Microphone".

Then try to send your friend the voice messages to see if the problem has been solved.

Solution 5. Clear WeChat cache

When you use WeChat on your mobile phone, it will automatically store cache and data. The cache and data will take space on your phone. If WeChat takes a large amount of storage, and your phone storage is limited or full, it may lead to send WeChat messages unsuccessfully.

Clearing WeChat cache is the solution.

Open WeChat app on your phone, tap "Me" section at the bottom right corner > "Settings" > "General" > "Storage" > "Clear WeChat Cache" and then it will take some time to clear WeChat cache on your mobile phone.

If the space on your phone are still limited, just try to free up space on iPhone and Android.
